The general managers of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees are not likely, in either case, to come in to replace Jim Hendry for the Cubs, a published report says.
By making just three (relatively) simple steps this offseason, the Cubs can practically guarantee that the excitement – and the crowds – will return to Wrigley Field in 2012.
Park Ridge officials want the Illinois Department of Transportation to remove the honorary "Jim Hendry Way" sign on Northwest Highway.
It was one year ago when Mike Quade took control of the Cubs as they beat the Washington Nationals en route to a 24-13 record to finish the 2010 season.
Right now, there is no managerial opening with the Cubs. But if there were, Ryne Sandberg would be reportedly open to interviewing for the job.
Like many relationships, there comes a time when you just know that now is time for both of you to go your separate ways. You may still love and respect one another, but you just need to see what else is out there, and get a fresh start.
Some Cubs fans are thrilled with the news that general manager Jim Hendry got the axe, saying the move was long overdue. Others say it's not right to kick a man when he's down.

Well, the All-Star Game is done. And, in case you stopped paying attention around Mother's Day...or Tax Day, the Chicago Cubs are, too.
Admit it Chicago, you've probably never relished the All Star break as much as this year. Mind you, I said the break and not the All Star game itself. The game is a joke but that's a story for another day. What I'm talking about is having a few days away from the terrible season we are witnessing on both sides of town.
While team chairman Tom Ricketts has said that he's happy with the job Jim Hendry has done, there seems to be a sentiment from the baseball community outside of Chicago, that the Cubs will likely have a new general manager next season.
